The following letter from Gen. Thos.
l.. Rosser appears in the Winchester
Times this week:
"Unipersity of Virginia, May 2.-Major
Holmes Conard, Winchester, Va. My Dear
Major: have seen 1t reported recently In the
newspapers that Gen. p. H. Sheridan, U. s. A.,
contemplates at an early day another ride up
the Shenandoah valley. Ihad hoped that our
beautiful valley should never again be desc
Grated by his footprints. Cold, cruel and bru-
tai must be the character Of this soldier, who
fondly cherishes memories Of the wild, wan
ton waste and desolation which his barbarous
torch spread through the valley, laying in
ashes the beautiful and happy homes of inno-
cent women, young and helpless children and
aged men, and who over these ruins boosted
that now crow cannot fly over this valley
without carrying Its rations. Gen. Sheridan
has done nothing since the war to atone for
his cruel barbarism during the war. We have
not forgotten that during his reign in New
Orleans he asked that our fellow-citizens Of
Louisiana might be proclaimed banditti in
order that he might set the dogs of war on
them. have forgiven the brave men Of the
Union armies whom met In honorable bat
tie. and who finally triumphed over us in the
great struggle. Among them can now name
many of my warmest and truest and most
priced friends. They are good and true men
and think none the less Of us for having
fought them. Indeed, they esteem him high
est amongst rs who fought them the hardest.
Sheridan is not one of this kind, and he has
never accorded to as that peace which Grant
proclaimed. now say to you, my dear Major.
and to our gallant comrades who are now In
the valley, that hope You will allow this
man to make his triumphant ride up the
valley in peace, but have him go like mis-
cradle crow, carrying his rations with him.
Yours, Truly, THos. l.. RossER."

Henry J. Peters died In Milwaukee a
year ago. When Oh his death bed he
declined to make will, but told his
wife that after his death she would find
he had left plenty for herself and chill
dren. After the old mans death the
place was ransacked from top to bottom
but no signs Of money were found.
Recently the sewer under the house be-
came clogged and workmen were en-
gagged to remedy the trouble. On taking
up the flooring Of the cellar the men
came across heavy box, which was
found to be filled with gold coin,
dollars, eagles and foreign money, to

In returning thanks 10 you for my miracu-
lous cure of eczema or salt rheum, deem II
advisable to give you detailed account OF
my case, and as there is, and always Will be

have my consent to publish this testimonial,

go on year after year paying out large sums

ceive no cure, or even relief, or end In Milling
a premature grave, as was nearly my case,
may be induced TO make trial OF the wonder
full CUTICURA REMEDIES.
At the age of three months rash made Its
appearance on my face. A physician was
called, he said teething was the cause, he pre-
scribed some cooling medicine, but the sores
spread to my ears and head. Another NJ. ID.
was called. He protested 10 know all about
the case, called 1t kings Evil" and pre-
scribed gunpowder, birthstone, and lard
mixed into salve, but the disease continued.
They could not do anything with IL. Another
prescribed borax-water and flour; another,
linseed poultices. None OF them did me any
good at all, but made me worse: The disease
continued undated; IL spread to my arms
and legs, till was laid up entirely, and from
continual sitting on the floor on pillow my
limbs contracted so that lost all control OF
them, and was utterly helpless. My mother
would have TO lift me out and into bed.
could get around the house on my hands and
feet, but could not get my clothes on AT al,
and had TO wear a sort OF dressing gown. My
hair had all matted down or fallen of, and
NV head. face and ears were one scab, and
had to have q towel on my head all the time
in the summer TO keep the files OF. My par
ents consulted a prominent physician and
surgeon here in Chicago (the other physicians
before mentioned were of Dundas and Hair :
ilton, Canada), he said he could do nothing
for me, that the chances were that l would
grow out OF IL, or that 1t would strike inward
" and kill me in time. He wanted TO cut the
sinews OF my legs so that could walk, but l
would not let him, for II did get better /
would have no control OF them.
The disease continued in this manner until
/ was seventeen years old, and one day In
January, 1879, In the Chicago Tribune, read
an account of your medicines. They described
my case so exactly that thought, as last
resort, to give them q trial.

who sulked IN 1880, and bolted the DEM

JUsT as the spring working season is
opening up news comes from all Sec
tons of the country of great strikes.
Iron-workers, carpenters, bricklayers,
factory operatives and laborers OF every
kind are striking for various reasons,
and Il is stated that there is a strong
probability that no less than 10000 coal
miners in Pennsylvania will quit work
unless demand for higher wages Is
granted very soon. The amount Of
Joss to both labor and capital is incalcu-
liable, Of course, for, as We have said be-
fore, strikes do not pay. 1t is great
pity that sensible arbitration cannot be
used.

Mr.. LUCAS wrote letter last week to
Messrs. Chew and Beckwith (ahd
which those gentlemen had printed and
distribnted) in which he takes the
ground that the Legislature has no right
to elect Senator. He says he will fight
for the seat to the bitter end, because he
don't want to see the Constitution vic.
lated. The letter apparently, did not do
much good, for the Legislature calmly
proceeded to ballot for Senator, and
will doubtless elect one. MIR. Lucas's
love for the Constitution will doubtless
meet with disappointment and his great
love for Office receive severe setback.
